Friend or Foe?

A poll conducted by Transparency International Bangladesh last year rated the police as the most corrupt institution in the country. Recent events, such as the sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl and the attacks on journalists, explain why people have lost their faith in law enforcement agencies. With no major reforms taking place in the force, one wonders if the police can ever regain public's trust.
